Recruiters, engineers, cleaners, timetable planners, and more – all are equally likely to take home the Rail Team of the Year Award. What’s true in all cases is that the category rewards those have shown incredible concern and support for colleagues or delivered a project in the face of significant challenges.
Train’d Up Railway Resourcing Ltd proudly stepped forward to support the Award in 2024. Since its formation in 2004 Train’d Up has become a nationally recognised centre of excellence for innovative Training & Development solutions. A leading national provider of apprenticeships and work-based learning solutions, Train’d Up supports both employers and employees on their apprenticeship journey.
“We’re absolutely delighted to sponsor the Rail Team of the Year award,” said managing director Alan Wilson. “There are so many good people in this industry and as an organisation that works with them on a daily basis, it’s just fantastic to be part of the RailStaff Awards.”
On the big night, Network Rail’s Freight Loads Books Digitisation (FLB) Project team was handed the award. The FLB project was designed to build a bespoke industry system to automate the process of checking maximum permissible trailing weight and length of freight trains on the network, improving safety and performance with the use of cutting-edge digital technology.
Despite the sheer number of interactions and dependencies, the project team achieved a very rare level of collaboration, working together to produce the best system for the industry, and creating a blueprint for similar projects in the future.
The team was overjoyed to collect the award and eager to express that no single member outshone the rest.
“This was a great project to work on. All members of the team worked so well together – if we hadn’t the project wouldn’t have got off the ground.”
“Every single person had the best interests of the project in mind and that clearly showed. We must thank Lampada Digital Solutions, our suppliers, who made a real difference to the whole project.”
Highly commended
